Lip Enhancement Embroidery
Lip enhancement is a lip embroidery procedure carefully tailored to correct the natural pigmentation of melanin-rich (dark) lips. We employ specialised techniques that delicately neutralise lip darkness while placing a premium on minimising any potential trauma and ensuring optimal lip health.
The process of working on darker lips is distinct due to their thicker skin compared to lighter-toned lips. Our approach commences with undertone neutralisation, offering us an opportunity to observe the healing progress before proceeding to attain the desired shade.
Our lip enhancement procedure accentuates the intensity of your lips makes them look fuller, younger, and more symmetrical.
It is also referred to as “lip micro-pigmentation”, “lip micro-blading”, and “lip blush”, among many, but they all refer to the same process.
It's essential to recognise that each individual's healing process is unique, and the desired result might not be achieved after the first session. Typically lip neutralisation requires 2-3 sessions for an ideal outcome, patience and careful consideration is crucial.

Lip Blush or Lip Enhancement?
Lip blush is a procedure that improves your lips shape & colour. Deepening the colour of your lips, creating a fuller, healthier look. The intensity of your lips can be customised to your preference.
However, lip enhancement is recommended if you have dark lips, unsymmetrical or dry lips. Different tools & pigments will be required according to your needs to provide a brighter and enhanced lip.
OUR LIP Enhancement PROCESS
What to expect
Upon arrival you will be given a consent form to fill out, our artists will then discuss everything you need to know like the procedure mechanics, terms & conditions and aftercare.
After analysing your lip condition, our artist will then proceed with the pre-procedure consultation & design.
Application of topical anaesthetic to your lips will take about 15-20 mins for the numbing effect to kick in.
Our artists will then use surgical-grade micro needles to delicately insert natural pigments into your lips. This is done over multiple layers to help create an even tone.
Following the procedure, your Lip Enhancement artist will provide you with an aftercare kit.
After our lip embroidery service, you might anticipate a slightly swollen sensation, although not everyone will experience this. At most, some customers might have mild swelling, which typically subsides within 2-3 hours. Thanks to our latest technique, we've minimised peeling, enabling you to resume your daily activities with ease – attend meetings or even go on dates!
First time appointments: 2.5 hours
Touch up appointments: 2 hours
Typically after 3 months after the first procedure, you are advised to go back for a scheduled appointment to check the colour retention and touch-up if needed.
Overall, lip enhancement embroidery can last 4-5 years
COMMON QUESTIONS (FAQ)
-
Lip enhancement is ideal for individuals who:
Have uneven lip tones or discoloration.
Have darker lips and wish to achieve a lighter, more balanced tone.
Want to enhance or redefine their lip shape.
Have asymmetrical lip sizes and desire more balanced proportions.

The majority of clients don’t experience swelling after a lip enhancement procedure, as our lip artists apply anti-swelling cream and continuously use gauze to gently press the lips, ensuring the process is as comfortable as possible.
However, a small minority of clients may notice mild swelling after the session, which typically subsides within 2-3 hours.
A helpful tip is to make small movements with your lips, as this can help reduce swelling more quickly.
-
Avoid smoking while your lips are healing (at least 10 days). Refrain from kissing, rubbing, or applying friction to your newly treated lips during this time, as it may disrupt the healing process and increase the risk of infection.
-
If you have a history of cold sores or fever blisters caused by the herpes simplex virus, it is recommended to visit a pharmacy to obtain antiviral medication. Take the medication for at least 3 days before and after the procedure to prevent cold sores from recurring.

Our lip artist will apply numbing cream before the procedure and thoroughly test the treated area to ensure it is completely numb.
